The birds in africa are amazingly colourful, but no less difficult to shot and obviously a long lens is a must.

I do love the colours of this Lilac-breasted Roller. It looks so pretty.
Well captured shot Paul, I am impressed with it,

Excellent composition and detail. I would have preferred a bit more colour saturation on the subject, but that is a personal preference.

Hello Paul,
Beautiful photo with good sharpness and details, but the colours a bit dark. Very good composition and POV.

great, colorful bird! nice composition. very well done. tfs

Hi Paul,
I think that you are lucky to have encountered this superb bird! What a colorful fellow! You caught a superb pose in great environment and composition. I think that details (which are very good) could have been accentuated a little more with the USM function in Photoshop. This is a beauty!
